Johnson2341 0 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Hey! Alright well I have been having the weirdest issue lately and am very confused. I am about 2 and a half years removed from Accutane, and have had zero cystic acne since. An increasing problem however, has emerged. Every once in a while a region under my skin where I previously had cystic acne begins is swell up. It gets red and a large, visible patch or bump is visible. After around an hour though, this swelling goes down and everything goes back to normal. It feels like I am going to get a long term cyst but then nothing happens. It usually happens right after I eat. It has happened on both sides of my face. About a year ago it happened for the first time and now its slowly increased and is happening about once or twice a week. Am i about to have some major break outs? thanks so much Edited November 5, 2012 by Johnson2341 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've experienced the receding and protruding, highly irritating "living" cyst. I can't explain everything scientifically, but there appears to be fluid that will fill that cyst when your skin becomes a raised bump. Having lots of fluid in the facial region is an indication that you have too much salt in your diet, and also consume too many carbohydrates. I try and keep carbohydrates below 200 grams per day. What ethnicity are you, if you don't mind me asking? Edited November 7, 2012 by jarrit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
